Small Production Wines We Love

Bob Bates

Bob Bates and Christopher Bates, Master Sommelier, founded Element Winery in 2005. Together they have learned the ups and downs of wine making, and forged a recognizable style of wines. Christopher left the winery in Spring of 2014, and now Bob is a full time winemaker. He does the day-to-day work at the winery and keeps a close eye on the wines as they spend their long slumbers in old wood.
